 * Hello – I’m hoping to get Amazon’s S3 us-east-2 region added to the plugin. All
   of my backup buckets are located in that region. Appreciate your hard work.

 * Hi [@damienbowman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damienbowman/), have you
   tried it and gotten an error? My buckets are also in that region but I’ve had
   no problem backing up to S3.

 * Thanks for the quick response Brandon. Here’s the error I receive when I pick
   any region and select the bucket I want to backup in:
 * [21-Jul-2017 11:38:59] ERROR: S3 Bucket “[S3 BUCKET]” does not exist!
    [21-Jul-
   2017 11:38:59] ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 10 seconds. You must resolve
   the errors for correct execution.
 * But when I switch to the region where the bucket is and select the proper bucket
   it works. So I was under the assumption the plugin is region locked.
 * Not sure if it makes any difference, but I host on Pantheon and trying this plugin
   in their ‘dev’ environment.

 * Hi [@damienbowman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damienbowman/), I think
   you can just select US Standard and it should work fine. That’s what I’ve used
   for buckets in US East.
